Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 137 Taking down Shidu Town

"Battalion Commander, the vanguard troops have been strangled with the enemy. The troops from the west gate and the north gate have also rushed into the city. The fifth company's south gate has wiped out several waves of small enemy troops." The correspondent reported.

"Order the companies not to pursue too closely. The leading troops drive the enemy to the south of the city, and leave a hole for the puppet army in the city. After the puppet army breaks through the encirclement, don't get entangled with the remnants of the enemy, and directly double-team with the fifth company. In their eyes, the troops in the rear carried out a dragnet search to clean up the puppet troops in the city." Wang Yigong said.

"Yes"

Wang Yigong looked at his watch. It was less than an hour before the attack was launched, and the progress was rapid, but Wang Yigong frowned.

There is no other reason. Although many soldiers in the reserve battalion came from the battlefield, many of them have no experience in street fighting. Although the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is third-rate, according to the situation reported just now, each company suffered casualties.

Most of the troops of our army, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the National Army, have no experience in street fighting. Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army. Although the National Army on the frontal battlefield has experienced big scenes and street fighting, these soldiers all died in the Japanese battle. How can street fighting be popularized on a large scale?

This is also the reason why Wang Yigong deliberately relaxed his vigilance at the south gate from the very beginning. The purpose was to drive the puppet army out of the city and destroy the enemy through field battles.

in the city.

"Regimental Commander, the Eighth Route Army's offensive has suddenly become weaker," the adjutant said.

"How many people are there now?" Gao Youde asked.

"Counting the troops that have just been withdrawn and the routs that have been gathered, there are still three hundred people, and there are still many brothers who have not withdrawn!"

Gao Youde heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there were [-] people left. As long as there are troops on hand, it will be of great use to the Japanese. Get kicked away.

Although Gao Youde's regiment and Guo Wenzhi's regiment are both puppet troops, there is still a difference in combat effectiveness. Don't think that puppet troops are all made of mud, they are easy to fight.

Guo Wenzhi's puppet regiment had just been formed, and the hearts of the people were scattered. Gao Youde's regiment's top and bottom officers were all his confidantes, which is why he can still gather three hundred people around him even now after the battle.

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army has always been a mystery. The powerful ones can fight head-on with the general troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the weaker ones will disperse immediately.

"Brothers are called to withdraw!" Gao Youde ordered.

"Withdraw? Commander, the Eighth Route Army is exhausted. Let's hold on for a while, and the imperial army's reinforcements will arrive soon!" the adjutant asked puzzled.

"Weak success? The Eighth Route Army is so evil that they even used mortars. Do you think we have the ability to fight us to the end? They relaxed their offensive because they didn't want us to fight them to the death and let us break out from the south of the city." Gao Youde said.

"Commander, are you saying that the Eighth Route Army has an ambush in the south of the city?"

"There is an ambush for sure, it depends on who wins!"

Wang Yigong used Yangmou to encircle Three Queyi, anyone with a bit of military common sense could see that, but he was not afraid that Gao Youde would not be recruited.

Not everyone can give up the hope of escape in front of them. If Gao Youde is really determined to fight to the end, he will not be a puppet army or a dog for a little devil.

"You inform, let the brothers in front resist, the imperial army will arrive soon, and there will be a big reward at that time!" Gao Youde was determined to abandon the car to protect the commander, let the troops in front entangle the Eighth Route Army in the city, and then led people from Breakout in the south of the city.

Four or five miles south of the city.

Gao Zhiheng's fifth company has been building a position since last night. After the battle started, three fleeing puppet troops have been wiped out.

It's funny to say that the South City Gate has not fallen so far, it has been in the hands of the puppet army, and there is a Gao Youde supervising team in the city, and the fleeing puppet army turned out from the city wall.

"Instructor, the battalion commander said to get the fifth company ready, the puppet army may break out from the south gate at any time." The correspondent said.

"Well, I see!" Gao Zhiheng nodded and said.

The preparation of the reserve battalion was very chaotic. Zhou Weihan was only temporarily organized according to the original units. The fifth company had a total of more than 300 people.

Gao Zhiheng's arrangement is also wonderful. He only sent a small army of more than a hundred people to ambush at the gate of the city, and the large army with heavy weapons is deployed behind.

The purpose of arranging a small group of troops is to make the puppet army exhausted and break through, and to make them relax their vigilance.

Sure enough, with the sound of gunfire from the front, it didn't take long for the small troops deployed in front to "rout".

"Haha, as expected, the sky will not kill me, and just these one hundred people want to block the way of someone Gao?" Gao Youde said proudly.

"Brothers, retreat, join the reinforcements of the imperial army immediately, and retake Shidu Town by then!"

Gao Youde believed that with his "friendship" with Kamezaburo Kawada, the Japanese would not do anything to him, and the Eighth Route Army could not occupy Shidu Town for a long time, and in the end Shidu Town still belonged to someone Gao.

The morale of the puppet troops who had broken out was greatly shaken when they saw a way out.

Even if Gao Youde was as cunning as a ghost, he never imagined that the real ambush was yet to come.

The puppet army that broke out quickly entered the ambush circle of the fifth company. The two heavy machine guns arranged on both sides formed a crossfire. The army had no defense at all, and fell to the ground like cutting wheat.

"Throw a grenade." Gao Zhiheng shouted.

The soldiers took out the grenades one after another, pulled off the rings, paused in their hands, and more than two hundred grenades exploded on the heads of the puppet soldiers.

The puppet army was bombed and fled with their heads in their arms. Gao Youde also tried to prevent the forces from resisting.

A sharpshooter from the fifth company noticed him, and with a "snap" gunshot, a shot hit Gao Youde in the chest at a distance of three hundred meters.

The vanguard of the reserve battalion in the city also chased after them. Under the front and back attacks, the morale of the puppet troops who broke out completely collapsed and they were routed.

"Comrades, put on the bayonet and charge me!" Gao Zhiheng shouted.

So far, the overall situation of the battle in Shidu Town has been decided. If the puppet army stays in the city and resists stubbornly, the reserve battalion may have more casualties before they can be wiped out.

However, Gao Youde chose to break out of the siege. With the fifth company setting up a position and fighting in the field, it was really easy to eliminate this group of puppet troops who broke out.

The words are divided into two parts.

After the reserve battalion entered Shidu Town, Wang Yigong sent a correspondent to report to Zhou Weihan.

"Commander, our battalion has entered Shidu Town." The correspondent reported.

"Well, let Wang Yigong follow the plan." Zhou Weihan said.

In Zhou Weihan's view, the battle of Shidu Town was just an appetizer. If Wang Yigong's reserve battalion could not even take down Shidu Town where a group of puppet troops were stationed, then Zhou Weihan really had to seriously consider the candidate for the battalion commander.

The real battle is the Du Village stronghold. Although the scale of the battle is small, it is of great significance.

"Monk, go and tell Dong Jiang that the stage has been set up. It's up to him to let the brigade commander and the others watch a good show." Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, congratulations, the attack is going well!" Chu Yunfei said.

"What is this? The good show has just begun."
